That idea became the starting point for “ Fuxi: Four Tales of Feasting ,” which is competing at the Tokyo International Film Festival . The film connects four eras through food and shared meals, with each chapter approaching the pleasure of eating, and its meaning, through its own fantastical vocabulary.

An opening title card presents “Fuxi” as a phrase that evokes both the delight of food and the act of eating.

He plays two elderly women from different eras, including a dying grandmother in the film’s prehistoric chapter. The entire film is spoken in the Leshan dialect of Sichuan province.

Lee Kang-sheng worked with several dialect coaches, Qiu says. “I was drawn to the mysterious quality about him, which felt perfectly suited to a character from ancient times,” he says.

“That gave me the idea of asking him to play a woman.” Taiwanese actor Lee Hong-chi, who also worked with dialect coaches, plays Song dynasty poet Su Dongpo. He had long admired Qiu’s visual work.

“I only found out I was playing Su Dongpo when I got the script,” he says. “The dialect was a challenge for me, too, but I really wanted to be part of the film because of its nonrealistic aesthetic and the world Qiu had created.” Unlike Qiu’s previous feature, “A New Old Play,” which focused on an individual’s personal history, “Fuxi” unfolds in sequence across four eras through four short stories.

Qiu says he used the meals at the center of each chapter to approach questions of life and death. “Through the individual lives of the characters, I wanted to explore a kind of relativity specific to this film – the relationship between the large and the small, or between a meal and the sun and the moon,” he says.

“Fuxi” was Qiu’s first time working with professional actors, an experience he says has broadened his creative ambitions. His solo exhibition, “Qiu Jiongjiong: Fuxi: A Feast for the Universe,” runs at Chengdu’s A4 Art Museum through Jan.

Built around three Sichuan-style banquets, the show uses painting, video and installation to explore the region’s culture and its ideas about life and death. Qiu is still developing his next project and has yet to settle on its subject or medium.
